<TITLE>Proxy Sharing Proxy Server Project</TITLE>
<H1>The Proxy Sharing Proxy Server Project</H1>

The Proxy Sharing Proxy Server Project is an investigation into the
application of wide-area demand-driven replication techniques to
sharing WWW resources.  The main difference between us and the competition
is that our caching scheme is <em>non-hierarchial</em>.  So far we have a
<!WA0><A href="http://www.cs.utsa.edu/research/proxy/etacom.ps">design paper</A>,
presented in May at the ETACOM 96 conference in Portland, Oregon.
Our implementation, based on the CERN proxy server, is coming along.
